Biography
Nicholas Anthony DiMarzio was born in Newark, New Jersey on 16 June 1944, the grandson of southern Italian immigrants. He became a certified social worker and a Roman Catholic priest on 30 May 1970, serving the Archdiocese of Newark. He began his ministry among migrants in 1976 and served as the archdiocese's refugee resettlement director for nine years; he moved to Washington DC in 1985 and worked for the US Catholic Conference. In 1991, he returned to his archdiocese, and, in 1992, Archbishop Theodore E. McCarrick appointed him executive director of Catholic Community Services. In 1996, Pope John Paul II appointed him Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Newark, and he served as Bishop of Camden from 1999 to 2003 and Bishop of Brooklyn from 2003. DiMarzio was anti-abortion and pro-immigrant, and Pope Francis also had him investigate clergy sexual abuse cases. On 13 November 2019, he was alleged to have sexually abused an 11-year-old altar boy, and DiMarzio - who was once known for his investigations of clergy sexual abuse - was now himself accused.
